Germany Set to Pass New Law to Punish Social Media Networks for Permitting Hate Speech to Exist

Taking a bold authoritarian step towards fighting online hate speech, Germany intends to pass a law that would fine social media outlets up to $53m for failing to delete hateful comments within a designated time frame.

Out of all the social media outlets, YouTube is the best at monitoring hate speech, with a 90% removal rate inside a week. Facebook was second at 39% and Twitter an abysmal last at just 1%.

Lots of hate happening on Twitter these days. Evidently, something will have to be done about that.

"This (draft law) sets out binding standards for the way operators of social networks deal with complaints and obliges them to delete criminal content," Justice Minister Heiko Maas said in a statement announcing the planned legislation on Tuesday.

Germany tried to do this the nice way, proposing a pledge to jointly fight hate speech on the social networks back in 2015. Alas, the time for soft words and half measures is over. All those who do not conform to these rules shall be punished, severely.

In Germany, hate speech is taken very seriously, often doling out harsh fines and even prison sentences for holocaust deniers or inciting acrimony against minorities. But in the era of free online speech, Germany finds themselves lacking in the authoritarian department. God willing, these new laws will put an end to that.

The Central Council of Jews in Germany welcomed the new law.
"We do not want an internet police or thought control," the council's president, Josef Schuster, said. "But when hatred is stoked, and the legal norms in our democracy threaten to lose their relevance, then we need to intervene."

The new law mandates a code of conduct to be enforced, removing illegal material, reporting on the volume of complaints and to make it easier for other people to tell on one another. After all, it is the duty of the citizenry to report illegal activity, whenever they might encounter it.

To help fight against illegal comments, Twitter has introduced new automated tools that help identify abusive bahvior, screen out anonymous profiles like Le Fly, and simply block illegal content.

Over at Facebook, Zuckerberg has hired the help of fact finding services, like Snopes, Politifact and Correctiv to help rout out fake news, something that has been deemed unacceptable by all ruling factions.

It should be noted that Russian hackers are the prime cause for all of this upheaval, hacking away at the hearts and minds of millions of people -- coercing them to partake in illegal online activities, winning elections for people favored by the Kremlin, and generally opposed to the rules of law set forth herein democratically free and prosperous republics.

Take two men. One speaks nothing but glittering lies the second only ugly truths. The first will be adored and beloved by all the people, the second scorned and spat upon, even as the first leads the people to ruin and the second to heaven, but it is in our nature to follow the first and abandon the second. Only those who rise above our base nature listen to the ugly truths and ignore the glittering lies.

If I remember right Soros controls these Fake News Checkers. Merkel is really sinking Germany.

rt has an unintentionally hilarious documentary on the dancing boys of afghanistan(or something like that). wealthy guys sponsor a party that features a pimp who recruits boys from 12-15. they dress up as girls and dance for these guys who get to buy the "bacha" they want for the night.

the reporter said the tradition came from a culture where women don't exist in any social setting so the men get their jollies dressing up young boys(who dance until they are 25-30) as women and poking the boys in the rear to relieve themelves. it is like a sexuality prison.

Muslim countries have higher male/female ration because lots of women get killed. Also females are not distributed evenly. It motivates muslims to go to war.

A lot of men didn't get married because they were poor in christian countries doesn't mean they liked ass raping boys. Ass raping is a pagan tradition. Most of the ass rapists are fags cause they got raped as boys. It has nothing to do with sexual repression.

oh, no now she is going into bloody tampons and erections and blood stains from periods....

racism, white privilege, entitlements,

what a white shitstain. she should be embarrassed . but no, she even worked up a white majority crowd to actually CHEER her as she goes into her "my pussy ain't for grabbin" ... she says her pussy is for breeding new generation of nasty women. she even gets the crowd to go "hell yeah" in agreement with her psychophantic rant.

you can listen to her nasty rant at be-at.tv 8 march 2017 set "smirnoff sponsor" -

if Smirnoff hears from enough people to reprimand sponsoring such a deviant person as this J. Cardini maybe we can check this vulgar person from more opportunities to spill her filthy mouth spewing hate speech.

smirnoff gives a website as drinkiq.com - boycott!

- that was the "womens day" so she thought she could play Madonna and be nasty vulgar and anti Trump.

Funny how when Governments try to enact new laws they always grab for people's pockets. Before long we won't be able to say shit online as some 3rd party will intervene and interpret what he thinks we mean.

Social democrats intended to print 1,000 posters showing politician Metin Hakverdi (where ever he came from) but it turned out to be something like at least 100,000 copies and they can be seen on the side of the streets of Hamburg Bergedorf for years now. Seem to have disappeaerd since German - Turkey row.

Resulted in spain online sales crashing, and local businesses got crushed as well...

It's not a really good example, but it does show that everytime .gov tries to snuff out the internet in some way, it boomerangs....

The internet is like nuclear power and guns: its out, and you can't make it go away... If you try to, you will reap very unforseen consequences.

Also, the internet is almost like a living thing: If threatened, it will attack whatever it is, or... just go around it. Look at the poor bastards in china: The most "regulated internet" in the world, and they go right around it as if the .gov doesn't exist lololol

Completing the circle to fascism, previously tried via the right arc - failed, now taking the left arc route, however much I admire the germans, I have to admit they seem doomed to reach the same destiny due to extreme lack of flexibility in rationalizing reality and always looking to follow patterns leading to extremes.
